Tamp Blow Configuration
Tamp blow applicators use the tamp pad holes to receive a label and transfer it to a product with
a blast of air. This is accomplished with a pattern that is symmetrical about the center of the
short axis of the label.
The holes are concentrated across the middle of the short side of the label. The spacing
gradually increases along the long side, away from the centerline. Spacing across the short
width of the label must be fairly even. The purpose of this pattern is to slightly bend the label as
it is being applied and eliminate trapping air. Punching too many holes will reduce performance.
